Abstract

Drying equipment is a device commonly used to remove moisture from various materials, particularly food products, to extend their shelf life and usability. However, in multi-tier drying systems, a common issue is the non-uniform temperature distribution between levels. This problem arises due to the uneven distribution of hot gas from the fuel source, causing the temperature on racks closer to the heat source to be higher than those on upper levels. To address this issue, heat ducts and fins were added to each level. The fins serve to evenly distribute heat from the hot gas channels throughout the drying chamber. Due to the high costs associated with experimental testing, this study adopts a numerical approach. The numerical simulation is conducted using Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) via SOLIDWORKS 2022 to analyze fluid flow and heat transfer within the dryer. The results indicate that the nine-level dryer remains operationally efficient, with the lowest temperature difference (∆T) recorded at 1.6°C when operating at 60°C.

Abstract

This study explores the feasibility of developing a Biogas Power Plant (PLTBg) utilizing cow manure as a renewable energy source in Tanjung Baringin Simarulak Village, Padang Lawas Regency, North Sumatra. The site, which hosts a government-managed cattle breeding center, generates a significant amount of organic waste that poses environmental challenges. Given the increasing demand for clean energy and the need to mitigate greenhouse gas emissions, biogas emerges as a promising alternative. The research adopts a descriptive approach with feasibility analysis, incorporating technical, financial, environmental, and social perspectives. Field observations and interviews with stakeholders, combined with secondary data, form the basis for evaluating project viability. The study estimates daily biogas production of approximately 75 m³ from 100 cows, which can generate around 120 kWh of electricity per day. Financial analysis shows a positive Net Present Value (NPV), an Internal Rate of Return (IRR) of 17.5%, a Profitability Index (PI) of 1.39, and a Payback Period (PBP) of 4.1 years.The findings indicate that the project is technically and economically feasible. It also offers environmental benefits by reducing methane emissions and turning waste into valuable energy and fertilizer. Socially, the project has the potential to reduce household energy costs and create new job opportunities in rural communities. Therefore, this biogas project is strongly recommended as a sustainable model for renewable energy development in Indonesia’s agricultural regions.

Abstract

Global Horizontal Radiation (GHR) and Global Horizontal Illumination (GHI) are critical environmental parameters that play a vital role in solar energy development, precision agriculture, and sustainable urban planning. However, their prediction remains challenging due to the high variability caused by atmospheric conditions. This study evaluates the performance of various machine learning models in predicting GHR and GHI using a comprehensive dataset comprising 29 environmental features. The models tested include Linear Regression, Random Forest Regressor, XGBoost Regressor, LightGBM Regressor, Support Vector Regressor (SVR), and Artificial Neural Network (ANN). The results consistently show that ensemble-based models, particularly LightGBM Regressor, provide the best predictive performance for both target variables, achieving very high R-squared values (approaching 0.999). XGBoost and Random Forest also demonstrate highly competitive performance. ANN performs well, while Linear Regression and SVR show lower accuracy. These findings underscore the significant potential of advanced machine learning models in predicting environmental parameters with high accuracy, which has important implications for renewable energy optimization, smart agriculture, and sustainable urban planning.

Abstract

The objective of this study is to investigate the impact strength and functional group characteristics, as identified through FTIR spectroscopy, of composite materials reinforced with pineapple leaf powder fibers that have undergone physical property enhancement via alkali treatment (NaOH). A series of processes were conducted to produce the pineapple leaf powder, starting with drying fresh pineapple leaves until they turned brown. The dried leaves were then cleaned and soaked in a 5% NaOH solution for durations of 1, 3, 5, 7, and 9 hours to modify their physical properties. After treatment, the leaves were rinsed thoroughly and oven-dried at 60°C for 5 hours. The dried leaves were subsequently ground and sieved using a 150-mesh screen. This study involved two main observations: functional group analysis using FTIR spectroscopy and mechanical performance evaluation through impact testing. A total of 30 composite specimens were prepared and fabricated using a stepwise lamination method, following the ASTM D256 impact testing standard. The results indicate that alkali treatment progressively degraded the hemicellulose and lignin content in the pineapple leaf fibers, significantly enhancing the impact energy absorption of the composite material. However, extended treatment durations adversely affected the fiber quality, leading to structural damage and reduced interfacial cohesion between the composite components.

Abstract

Stress concentration around circular holes in plates is a critical challenge in structural analysis. Traditional FEM requires fine meshes near discontinuities for accurate predictions, increasing computational cost. This study introduces a novel, adaptive, geometry-aware mesh method that refines only near the hole while keeping the rest of the mesh coarser. Simulations under uniaxial tension are compared to conventional mesh strategies and analytical solutions. Performance is evaluated by accuracy, convergence, and computational efficiency.

Abstract

Currently, in the industrial world, many products or components are required to have strong but light properties. Therefore, aluminum material is increasingly being chosen as the main material in the industrial production process. Aluminum and its alloys are classified as light metals that have high strength, corrosion resistance, fairly good electrical conductivity, and are lighter than iron or steel. However, aluminum has a weakness in its welding ability which is not good when compared to other metals. This problem can be overcome by the Solid-State Welding (SSW) welding method. SSW itself is a welding process carried out when the metal is still solid, meaning that the metal does not melt. One of the SSW methods that is often used is Friction Stir Welding (FSW), which is a solid-state welding technology that is very suitable for joining materials such as aluminum. FSW does not require additional materials, but instead utilizes the heat from friction between the probe and shoulder of the welding tool with the surface of the workpiece. This research on Friction Stir Welding aims to determine the effect of variations in feed rate on the strength of 1100 aluminum joints through tensile tests. The pin tool used is made of carbide, cylindrical in shape with a length of 100 mm and a diameter of 3 mm. The test specimen used was aluminum 1100 with a thickness of 3 mm, a length of 200 mm, and a width of 20 mm, and was made into 9 samples. The FSW welding process and the manufacture of test specimens were carried out according to the ASTM E8 standard. During the welding process, the pin tool rotated at 2200 Rpm, and the feedrates used were 50 mm/min, 100 mm/min, and 150 mm/min. After welding, a tensile test was carried out on the FSW joint results. There were nine tensile tests, with each feedrate parameter tested on three samples. The average tensile strength of the FSW joint on a 2200 Rpm spindle with a feedrate of 50 mm/min was 12.34 MPa, at a feedrate of 100 mm/min was 21.53 MPa, and at a feedrate of 150 mm/min was 29.21 MPa.

Abstract

This study aims to evaluate the impact of implementing an artificial intelligence (AI)-based robotic system on the quality of CNC machining products at PT Evergrown Technology Batam. A quantitative method was employed using purposive sampling on 25 observation units. The quality parameters analyzed include surface roughness and product cylindricity. Data analysis techniques involved linear regression and ANOVA tests to determine the significance of relationships between variables. The findings indicate that the application of AI technology in robotic systems significantly reduces surface roughness (Y = 2.736 − 0.136X; p 0.001) and improves the cylindricity accuracy of the machined products (Y = 0.075 − 0.005X; p = 0.005). These results suggest that intelligent robotic systems make a substantial contribution to enhancing machining precision and overall product quality. Therefore, the implementation of such technology can serve as a strategic solution to improve quality outcomes in CNC-based manufacturing processes.

Abstract

The stealth capability in modern defense technology heavily relies on materials that can evade radar detection. Nano-based materials, such as graphene and carbon nanotubes (CNT), have emerged as innovative solutions with superior electromagnetic and physical properties. This study aims to analyze the potential and challenges of using nano materials in stealth technology, highlighting their ability to absorb radar waves through electron resonance interactions and high surface properties. Graphene, with its two-dimensional carbon atomic structure and high conductivity, and CNT, which features a nano-tube structure with exceptional thermal and mechanical properties, have been shown to significantly reduce radar reflection. However, challenges in mass production and material stability under extreme conditions still pose barriers. This study also compares the advantages of nano materials with conventional materials such as ferrite and heavy metals, showing that nano materials are lighter, more flexible, and more efficient. Through a review of current literature, this research reveals that nano materials have the potential to replace or complement conventional stealth materials in future military applications.
